The Vanity of Small Differences is a series of six large-scale tapestries by the Turner-Prize winning artist Grayson Perry, currently on show at The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum in Jordan Well.

The exhibition, which is entirely free, explores the country's fascination with taste and class, and is inspired by the 18th century painter William Hogarth’s moral tale, A Rake’s Progress.

Following the life of a fictional character called Tim Rakewell, as he develops from infancy through his teenage and middle years, to his untimely death in a bloody car accident, the tapestries - rich in colour and content, with many nods to British consumerism, from BP garages to retail parks - are on show until July 3.

Those attending the exhibition at the Herbert can expect to see all the eccentricities and peculiarities associated with life in the UK, with each tapestry recalling early Renaissance religious painting.

Coventry art lovers have been flocking to see the tapestries from the artist, who is currently presenting a series exploring masculinity on Channel 4, titled All Man.
